Evaluation comments:
“This game is educational and entertaining. The object is to eventually set up your own virtual zoo.”
“For beginners, such as myself, tutorials are set up to help learn the system- I believe it is necessary to learn to navigate everything. How to maneuver around the zoo, how to set up a habitat for the animals that includes vegetation, barriers (think protective such as a high enough wall so the lions do not jump out), terrain so the animals can get exercise and a glass wall or fence so that visitors to the zoo can observe. The enclosures need to be cleaned and maintained. There is a lot to do for the player- figuring out finances, making sure the animals are happy, making sure there are donation areas near each exhibit and educational information is visible. The visitors need to have food available for them, shopping, and bathrooms. Everything that is involved in a zoo, the player sets up. The program has so many choices and helps the player make decisions. It is challenging, educational (learn about the animals, learn about budgeting, all about zookeeping).”
“I like that this game has levels and that players work their way from helping with an existing zoo to building their own.”
“I like that it does give a warning that the player could see blood (animals fighting), dead animals etc. The animals may mate and make adorable babies.”
“It is educational (so much information about habitats, what the animals eat, how they act, what makes them “happy”) and creative.”
“The game has infinite ways to play, and people can visit your zoo.”
“The graphics are amazing- the animals look realistic, and the enclosures are so detailed.”
“For someone who loves animals, zoos, online games, this is educational, fun and will give the player hours upon hours of entertainment.”
